Abstract

The effects of zinc addition to the fluconazole therapy which is a systemic anticandidial agent widely used in vulvovaginal candidiasis were investigated. Sixty-eight non-pregnant women having simptoms of vulvovaginal candidiasis were evaluated and compared in randomly selected two groups. One of the groups was treated with fluconazole (n=33) while the other was treated with fluconazole + zinc (n=35). KOH preparation and culture results and relapse ratios were compared between two groups. Relaps ratio was found significantly lower in fluconasole + zinc treated group.

Özet

Araştırmada vulvovaginal kandidiazis (VVK)'de kullanılan bir sistemik antikandidal tedavi ajanı olan flukanazola çinko eklenmesinin reenfeksiyon oranı üzerine olan etkinliği araştırıldı. Bu amaçla vulvovaginal kandidiazis semptom ve bulgularına sahip gebe olmayan toplam 68 hasta 2 ayrı grupta çalışma kapsamına alındı ve gruplar kendi aralarında karşılaştırıldı. Rastgele seçimle her bir gruba sırasıyla flukanazol (n=33), flukanazol + çinko (n=35) tedavileri verilerek kültür sonuçları, KOH preparat sonuçları ve relaps oranları araştırıldı. Çinko eklenen flukanazol grubunda relaps oranının diğer gruba göre önemli oranda azalmış olduğu belirlendi.
